Half way through the race, night time there now, 3 Audi leading 2 Toyota at this stage, live video and update from this site, some English commentary at times.
i went there in 2002 & camped at the track for 5 days, awesome time. was impressed with the amount of Lear Jets that constantly landed & took off from the airport next to the track. a lot of $$ at that race venue.

Race is only 75% run, Toyota has not "crapped out", 2x in the top six (other 4 are Audi), not over until the rotund diva warbles.

OMG you're right. There's a Hyundai on the track and noone seems to know if it's race-entered or just emptying garbage cans. Lot of cheers for the Santa Fe.I'll report back later.

Audi's dominance should be obvious. Holding three of the race's top five spots is not easy, even with three-quarters of the race remaining.
Through five hours, Toyota held two of the top five spots but their second car is now seven laps behind the leader.
There's still a ton of racing left to do, but Audi's strong showing will not go away. It almost never does, and history stands to repeat itself in this year's ultimate test of endurance.
Time will tell eh.!

Certainly will, example - TAB had All Blacks at $1.03 head to head last night, bet there were many nail-biters in the last minutes of that game.
Audi "should" win with a 1-2-3 in 5 hours time. Gloating rights will be all yours gram.

Gloating rights don't apply.just say it as I see it. I don't have any bets on this one. Nor last night's overconfident clowns.

Shame the Nissan Delta was taken out by a Toyota in the restart. I was interested in seeing how it would run.

I love audi's, so powerful and they make such stylie looking cars! I drive them often at my work, sadly I might never be able to afford one, but I think they are the best car out there, in my non expert opinion!
Yeah they got the same badge as the roadcars that is about it. Bit like holden and ford supertourers or aus v8,s for similarity to a road car.
